PlayStation Vue, the cloud-based TV service from Sony is now available nationwide. If you are a cord-cutter, or considering it, Vue is one of the best choices available. In major markets the big four networks are even available.

“PlayStation Vue has been an ambitious project from the start, and national expansion demonstrates our ability to innovate in an industry that’s overdue for a reinvented experience,” said Eric Lempel, senior vice president of marketing and head of PlayStation Network Americas at Sony Network Entertainment International. Sony said it is “working to add live local broadcast stations across all networks to each of the new TV markets.”
